Here’s a checklist to help you get ready: 1. **Airbag (SRS) and ABS Lights**: - Must perform a self-check (lights come on for 7-13 seconds and then go out). MyAirbags can help to reset the [airbag control module](https://www.myairbags.com/product-category/repair-return/airbag-module-reset/), rebuild [seat belts](https://www.myairbags.com/product-category/repair-return/seat-belt-repair/) and other SRS components - If the lights do not come on or stay on, the vehicle will fail the inspection. 2. **Headliner**: - Must be replaced if creased due to curtain airbag deployment; repairs are not acceptable. 3. **Tires**: - Must be in good condition with no cords showing. - Wear should not be down to the wear indicators. 4. **Glass**: - Front and rear glass must be free of chips and cracks. 5. **Functionality**: - Horn, all lights, and turn signals must be operational. 6. **Replacement Parts**: - Can be new or used. - Used parts must include the donor vehicle’s VIN on the receipt. 7. **Repairs**: - Should not use sheet metal screws or rivets unless specified by manufacturer procedures. - Adhesives require the paint to be removed from the area to stick to the metal. - Minimize the use of body filler; it cannot be used to create parts (e.g., fenders). - Shims or heavy fillers are not allowed between hinges and mounting surfaces; hinges must mount flush. 8. **Paint and Undercoating**: - No paint or undercoating should be present on repairs or replacement parts. Ensure all these conditions are met before the inspection to increase the chances of passing the GA Salvage Inspection. - [FAQs](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/faqs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Shipping](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/faqs?hsLang=en#shipping) - [How It Works](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/faqs?hsLang=en#how-it-works) - [Warranty and Returns](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/faqs?hsLang=en#warranty-and-returns) - [General](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/faqs?hsLang=en#general) - [UpFix](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/faqs?hsLang=en#upfix) - [DTC Codes](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/faqs?hsLang=en#dtc-codes) - [Airbag Module Reset](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/airbag-module-reset?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Airbag SRS DTC Codes](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/airbag-module-reset?hsLang=en#airbag-srs-dtc-codes) - [Airbag Module Removal Instructions](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/airbag-module-reset?hsLang=en#airbag-module-removal-instructions) - [Airbag Light On](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/airbag-module-reset?hsLang=en#airbag-light-on) - [Airbag Module Reset FAQ](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/airbag-module-reset?hsLang=en#airbag-module-reset-faq) - [Airbag Technical Questions](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/airbag-module-reset?hsLang=en#airbag-technical-questions) - [Troubleshooting](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/airbag-module-reset?hsLang=en#troubleshooting) - [Seat Belt Repair](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/seat-belt-repair?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Seat Belt FAQ's](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/seat-belt-repair?hsLang=en#seat-belt-faqs) - [Seat Belt Removal Instructions](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/seat-belt-repair?hsLang=en#seat-belt-removal-instructions) - [Shipping seat belts](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/seat-belt-repair?hsLang=en#shipping-seat-belts) - [Seat Belt Types (1-Stage vs 2-Stage)](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/seat-belt-repair?hsLang=en#seat-belt-types-1-stage-vs-2-stage) - [Seat Belt Technical Questions](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/seat-belt-repair?hsLang=en#seat-belt-technical-questions) - [Troubleshooting](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/seat-belt-repair?hsLang=en#troubleshooting) - [Other SRS Parts](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/other-srs-parts?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Steering Column Sensor Repair](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/other-srs-parts?hsLang=en#steering-column-sensor-repair) - [Head Reset - Crash Active Head Rest](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/other-srs-parts?hsLang=en#head-reset-crash-active-head-rest) - [Clockspring](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/other-srs-parts?hsLang=en#clockspring) - [Airbags](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/other-srs-parts?hsLang=en#airbags) - [Active Hood Actuator](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/other-srs-parts?hsLang=en#active-hood-actuator) - [Insurance Auction](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/insurance-auction?hsLang=en) - [Salvage Inspection](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/salvage-inspection?hsLang=en#main-content) - [GA (Georgia) Salvage Inspection](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/salvage-inspection?hsLang=en#ga-georgia-salvage-inspection) - [Guides & Tips](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/guides-tips?hsLang=en) - [Seat Belt Safety & Compliance](https://info.myairbags.com/kb/seat-belt-safety-compliance?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://info.myairbags.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo-1.jpg?width=190&height=50&name=logo-1.jpg "Chill listening crop-3")](http://upfix.com) MyAirbags FAQ's Copyright © 2026, MyAirbags
